Photos of the New York City Ballet

On the spur of the moment, the Times Union’s Social Scene photographer Joe Putrock snapped some incredible pictures at Saturday evening’s NYCB Gala Night performance. The evening featured two SPAC premieres – “Millepied Sp. 2012” and “Les Carillons” – as well as dancer Justin Peck’s world premieres “New Peck.”

Putrock also photographer the gala, “An Evening at the Moulin Rouge” which preceded the performance. You can see those photos here.
